don't know if it's any help but I'm getting that with a leaking pipe at the moment, http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=226545.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=226545.0)

Suggests someone's put the wires back on the wrong plugs after the headgasket job.

Check the connections and then flush the coolant.
